The National Citizen Party (NCP; Bengali: জাতীয় নাগরিক পার্টি, romanized: Jātīẏô Nāgôrik Pārṭi), is a political party in Bangladesh. Initiated by the Students Against Discrimination and the Jatiya Nagorik Committee, it was established on 28 February 2025 as the first student-led political party in the history of Bangladesh. It was established in the aftermath of the July Revolution.

After the fall of the Awami League government following the July Revolution, a manifesto by the leadership of the Students Against Discrimination mentioned the idea of a new political arrangement. Subsequently, in September, the Jatiya Nagorik Committee was formed, and efforts were made to establish committees in every thana across Bangladesh. In February 2025, the Students Against Discrimination and the Jatiya Nagorik Committee finalized thr formation of a new political party, which was formed on 28 February 2025, with Nahid Islam from the interim government as its convener.

Though self-describing as centrist and pluralist, the party does not confess any unified ideology, thus allowing many factions to function. The party campaigns for a "second republic" and a new constitution.

Several names were proposed in the opinion polls for the party, with top names including Revolutionary Popular Struggle Party, National Revolutionary Power, People Against Discrimination, Bangladesh Citizen Party, National Citizen Committee, Student–People's Party, National People Power Party, and National Citizen Power.

For the party's symbol, top proposals included a clenched fist, elephant, tiger and hilsa fish. But on June 22, 2025, Nahid Islam, The convener of National Citizen Party (NCP), has been said after applying for party registration in Bangladesh Election Commission that they want Water lily as their party symbol. However, on September 30, 2025, the party alleged that the Election Commission attempted to allocate alternative symbols such as an ostrich, cup-saucer, wardrobe, and plate-bowl instead of the requested water lily. Nasiruddin Patwary, NCP’s chief coordinator, described the proposed symbols as “ridiculous” and accused the commission of acting arbitrarily and discriminatorily, while asserting that there was no legal barrier to granting the water lily. Patwary also raised concerns that while other parties received symbols derived from national emblems, objections were being raised only against NCP. He emphasized that the party would continue its struggle constitutionally and democratically, with the people.

As of 6 October 2025, according to some sources, Bangladesh Election Commission was thinking of granting NCP the "Shapla" (water lily) as their election symbol.

A faction of the Bangladesh Chhatra Odhikar Parishad, which led the 2018 quota reform movement, split from the group and formed a student organization called Gonotantrik Chhatra Shakti on October 2, 2023. In 2024, alongside most student organizations in Bangladesh, the leaders of Gonotantrik Chhatra Shakti joined a non-partisan political platform named the Students Against Discrimination, participating in the quota reform and non-cooperation movements. The members of this new student organization played a leading role in these movements. On August 5, 2024, during the student-people uprising, Sheikh Hasina, the President of the ruling Awami League, resigned from the position of Prime Minister and fled to India, leading to the fall of her government. After the success of the uprising, rumors spread that the Students Against Discrimination was going to form a new political party. However, on August 16, the organization's central coordinator and advisor to the interim government, Nahid Islam, dismissed these rumors, stating that there were no plans to form a party at the moment, and that their organization was focused on implementing a new political arrangement as per their proposed manifesto.

On September 8, the Jatiya Nagorik Committee was established under the leadership of Akhter Hossain, convener of Gonotantrik Chhatra Shakti, and Nasiruddin Patwari of Amar Bangladesh Party, with the aim of restructuring the country. On September 14, 2024, Gonotantrik Chhatra Shaktiwas dissolved. The announcement of the dissolution, following the upheaval, led to speculations that the organization's leaders would enter politics. On the other hand, a source within the organization revealed that the key leaders of Gonotantrik Chhatra Shakti were working towards forming a political party. However, on October 25, the central coordinator of the Students Against Discrimination and main organizer of the Jatiya Nagorik Committee, Sarjis Alam, stated that forming a new political party immediately after the uprising would cause division within the country. He mentioned that while they had the right to form a political party, it could be done in the future under a different platform and name. On October 27, Asif Mahmud, the central coordinator of the Students Against Discrimination and advisor to the interim government, labeled the rumors of a new party as propaganda, stating that "now is not the time to form a party."
